Our Democratic senators need to step up and call for new leadership. Send your senators an email and urge them to publicly demand that Sen. Schumer steps aside.

🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Just contacted mine asking to replace Schumer and remove him from leadership entirely. I also asked that they take Durbin, Masto and Schatz off the leadership team given their complicity. I'm torn about Schatz b/c he's shown some fire. But yesterday was just an awful display of acquiescence.

Whoa! Rep. James Clyburn acknowledges that Leader Hakeem Jeffries was “blindsided” by Chuck Schumer’s vote and also says that House Democrats are on retreat, talking about a primary challenge. 🔥 @schumer.senate.gov isn’t up for reelection until 2028. Chuck needs to step down from leadership now.

I think attacking Schumer like this is doing more harm than good. There are awful consequeces no matter what we do. The most urgent threat is not Chuck Schumer; it's the Republicans. They want to divide us. Turning on each other plays into their plan.

I'm saying to give Chuck a chance and hear him out. Afterall, he no doubt knows more about the situation than neither you or I do. The real question is do we let them wreck our country sooner or later. If Chuck has a plan of attack, then he needs to come forward with it.

Schumer had his chance to explain his reasoning and he has sidestepped it. It’s time for him to be replaced as minority leader with a fighter. Even if this fighter loses, we’ll know that this person have it their all on our behalf.

But he did explain, saying that both Musk and Trump were wanting a payment default because then Trump would have the authority to say what government to fund or not. I get that, but the real issue is, do we want them to destroy us faster or slower. And to that, IDK.

All Dem congresspersons need to stop trying to get that dead dog to hunt and help lead the economic resistance. Start by getting advice from #TeslaTakedown leaders.

STOP focusing down the road on primaries and the midterms. Focus more on the here and now and understanding both sides of the issue. The CR vs Govt shutdown was an absolute lose-lose situation. Schumer didn't vote for the CR. If you're going to be mad at anyone, be mad at the two democrats who did.

It may be true that it’s time for passionate young people to take more leadership roles. But it’s also try we need experienced patient and wise people who can resist the temptation to burn down the house in a big show when we may be damaging our most important options in the future.

I think Schumer was right. Trump wanted the shutdown. What was the day-after plan? Headline reads “Dems abdicate Republic to Trump.” Trump takes complete power. People protest. He declares Martial Law, turns military on protesters. No more courts or elections. At least we're still in the fight.

Explain how shutting down the government isn't enabling Fusk Trump to commit greater atrocities in secret. I don't get how it's not a stupider way to go. Like giving the wolf the only keys to the hen house. Explain.

Maybe so but I don’t want to fight democrats now. Trump is the problem. My time and energy is directed to ridding us of who I believe is an illegitimate president, not Schumer, wrong as I think he was.
